Little boy growing

Here are things that Nate does by himself now:

Peel carrots (he loves this!)

"Read" comic books.

Pour cereal, pull stool to the fridge to get the milk, pour milk, make "breakfast" for himself and Jack (please excuse the clothes, he dressed himself)

Clean up the toys in the basement, sometimes surprisingly well. The housekeepers were coming on Wednesday and I was trying to get us off to the zoo; I called down to Nate and asked him to help clean up the basement and he said "okay!" and headed downstairs to work on it. Huh.

Make friends in airports.

Climb into Jack's crib to fetch "pink doll and paci" that are requested 10 times a day.

Pinch samosas closed

Decide to share his silly bandz with friends because they don't have any.

Color the front walkway bricks with sidewalk chalk, making a pattern as he goes along.

Water the plants in the backyard

Really help with Aunt Drebba's charity auction

Horse around with cousins

Know to be careful with feelings: The other night he said he wanted Daddy to put him to bed because Number 2 is better than Number 1 and Daddy was Number 2...well, we were both Number 2 but Daddy was Number 3...

He's pretty fabulous.
